"Reload Textures" command

Apr 13, 2003 Urza link
Ever have your mouse get stuck on you screen? IT's an annoying bug that happens sometimes when you click out of vendetta, then click back in. IT's really annoying. The only way to fix it is to reload your textures. The easiest way to do that is to go into options and change your res. Then you gotta change it back, which forces you to reload your textures twice, which is a waste of time. So.. my suggestion: an option in the graphic panel that you can click and it reloads your textures. Simple as that.

Maybe even a console command to reload textures, and a generic "Re-initialisation" in the graphics options.

That way, we dont get a load of newbies saying "Whats this reload textures button do, should i press it? Will it make VD run faster?"

Perhaps if the "Apply" or "ok" (cant remember which) button was always enabled, that way you could head to the graphics options and just click "ok" to do a reset?

Just an idea.. ;-)

Heh, we've gone out of our way to make the game reload textures as *infrequently* as possible, to let people configure things easier and faster. Making a graphics re-init button would be doable, though.

Since it reloads the textures every time you change resolution or something, couldn't you just make a button to make it change from what you have to something tiny (1x1?) and back?

I dont think 1x1 is supported by a majority of graphics cards ;-)
